Analysis: How Everyone Wins If Donald Trump Loses...Including Trump By WILL RAHN CBS NEWS April 6, 2016
Nearly everyone in the Republican Party could benefit from Donald Trump losing, including Trump himself.
The question is just about how he loses, and when.
It's obvious at this point that Trump is rapidly deflating. Even putting aside his loss in Wisconsin Tuesday night, every indication we have is that he would be decimated in a general election. According to a Washington Post poll from last week, he's losing to Hillary Clinton by double digits. Demographics that went heavily for Mitt Romney, such as married white women, despise him. He's even underwater with white voters without college degrees, his supposed base. In Wisconsin, exit polling soon after the polls closed showed that a plurality of Wisconsin GOP voters without a college degree chose Ted Cruz over Trump, by a margin of 47 - 37 percent.
"In the modern polling era, since around World War II, there hasn't been a more unpopular candidate than Donald Trump," says the Republican pollster Neil Newhouse.
And it's hard to imagine how Trump can turn this all around. His name ID is as high as a candidate could hope for, but the more voters see of him, the less they like him. Two months ago, he was essentially tied with Clinton in head-to-head match-ups in the RealClearPolitics average. She now leads him by 10 points. In fact, if Trump is the nominee, a Mason-Dixon poll released Tuesday indicates that even the solidly Republican Deep South could be up for grabs.
Winning the Republican nomination only to lose the general election in the most humiliating fashion possible probably doesn't hold much appeal to Trump. In fact, we're not even sure he really wants to be president.

And yet, 38% of men and 38% of women voted for Trump in Wisconsin.
I've asked the same question as well. None will answer;
If Trump loses to Killary so badly, then why are the DNC, RNC, MSM, BLM, left blogs, right blogs, et al, trying so hard to not have him as the nominee?
I think Trump should offer the VP to Little Marco. He needs a job and has 175 delegates.
I agree with you. I’m hopeful that they’re both patriotic and see it as the best way out of a very bad situation getting chaotic.
From nearly 70% men voting for Trump in prior primaries that number has fallen to 38%. This is WHY there isn’t the discernible gender gap. In short, Trump’s support even among men have begun to plummet.
Can’t argue with that!
This below is even scarier!!

You’re right. Doesn’t say much for the American electorate.
Oh well, time to finish my bunker!
